I was hoping for a berry pink, but still in a historical tone. To me this leans more toward a dried blood color rather than a berry pink. Real dried blood would be a dark red almost brown, and this is not that, but it leans that way, as I said. My initial thought was to return it, but then I draped it over my arm and looked in the mirror and it did complement my skin tone. So it’s just more of a fall color maybe rather than a summer color. It is also lighter weight than other silk velvets I’ve handled. So, I’ll keep it, I do like it, but it’s not what I was hoping for. The shipping was very quick, though.

I've been buying this silk for years. It's gotten more expensive and still work the price. Quick shipping and Consistent excellent quality.
